14 Merchiston Grove

Perched on the corner of two ultra-exclusive streets, this modern masterpiece by Webster Architecture and Mazzei raises standards, surpasses expectations, and stands proudly as one of Strathmore's very best homes. Commanding from the outset with limestone pavers, intricate details, and a stance full of flair and finesse, the home's cutting-edge façade preludes an interior where the finest inclusions and a clever floor plan prove exceptional for the large family. A wide hallway passes through an open rumpus area and stunning double-height void, reaching a back section that's utterly scintillating with its northern sun, open space, gas-log fire, ribbons of dolomite, and seamless flow from inside to out. A hot/cold Zip Tap, integrated dishwasher, induction cooktop, pair of conventional ovens, and walk-in pantry ensure a gourmet kitchen can cater for any occasion, augmented by a built-in bar, pizza oven, and mains-gas barbecue in a limestone-floor alfresco retreat. With steel posts installed one-by-one, tall fences bring complete privacy to a backyard with a basketball ring, while a magazine-featured magnesium pool/spa proves the perfect accompaniment to summer months.
